napi_schedule() is expected to be called either:

* From an interrupt, where raised softirqs are handled on IRQ exit

* From a softirq disabled section, where raised softirqs are handled on
  the next call to local_bh_enable().

* From a softirq handler, where raised softirqs are handled on the next
  round in do_softirq(), or further deferred to a dedicated kthread.

Other bare tasks context may end up ignoring the raised NET_RX vector
until the next random softirq handling opportunity, which may not
happen before a while if the CPU goes idle afterwards with the tick
stopped.

Such "misuses" have been detected on several places thanks to messages
of the kind:

	"NOHZ tick-stop error: local softirq work is pending, handler #08!!!"

For example:

       __raise_softirq_irqoff
        __napi_schedule
        rtl8152_runtime_resume.isra.0
        rtl8152_resume
        usb_resume_interface.isra.0
        usb_resume_both
        __rpm_callback
        rpm_callback
        rpm_resume
        __pm_runtime_resume
        usb_autoresume_device
        usb_remote_wakeup
        hub_event
        process_one_work
        worker_thread
        kthread
        ret_from_fork
        ret_from_fork_asm

And also:

* drivers/net/usb/r8152.c::rtl_work_func_t
* drivers/net/netdevsim/netdev.c::nsim_start_xmit

There is a long history of issues of this kind:

	019edd01d174 ("ath10k: sdio: Add missing BH locking around napi_schdule()")
	330068589389 ("idpf: disable local BH when scheduling napi for marker packets")
	e3d5d70cb483 ("net: lan78xx: fix "softirq work is pending" error")
	e55c27ed9ccf ("mt76: mt7615: add missing bh-disable around rx napi schedule")
	c0182aa98570 ("mt76: mt7915: add missing bh-disable around tx napi enable/schedule")
	970be1dff26d ("mt76: disable BH around napi_schedule() calls")
	019edd01d174 ("ath10k: sdio: Add missing BH locking around napi_schdule()")
	30bfec4fec59 ("can: rx-offload: can_rx_offload_threaded_irq_finish(): add new  function to be called from threaded interrupt")
	e63052a5dd3c ("mlx5e: add add missing BH locking around napi_schdule()")
	83a0c6e58901 ("i40e: Invoke softirqs after napi_reschedule")
	bd4ce941c8d5 ("mlx4: Invoke softirqs after napi_reschedule")
	8cf699ec849f ("mlx4: do not call napi_schedule() without care")
	ec13ee80145c ("virtio_net: invoke softirqs after __napi_schedule")

This shows that relying on the caller to arrange a proper context for
the softirqs to be handled while calling napi_schedule() is very fragile
and error prone. Also fixing them can also prove challenging if the
caller may be called from different kinds of contexts.

Therefore fix this from napi_schedule() itself with waking up ksoftirqd
when softirqs are raised from task contexts.

<title>net: Clear old fragment checksum value in napi_reuse_skb</title>

In certain cases, napi_get_frags() returns an skb that points to an old
received fragment, This skb may have its skb-&gt;ip_summed, csum, and other
fields set from previous fragment handling.

Some network drivers set skb-&gt;ip_summed to either CHECKSUM_COMPLETE or
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY when getting skb from napi_get_frags(), while
others only set skb-&gt;ip_summed when RX checksum offload is enabled on
the device, and do not set any value for skb-&gt;ip_summed when hardware
checksum offload is disabled, assuming that the skb-&gt;ip_summed
initiated to zero by napi_reuse_skb, ionic driver for example will
ignore/unset any value for the ip_summed filed if HW checksum offload is
disabled, and if we have a situation where the user disables the
checksum offload during a traffic that could lead to the following
errors shown in the kernel logs:
&lt;IRQ&gt;
dump_stack_lvl+0x34/0x48
 __skb_gro_checksum_complete+0x7e/0x90

handle_softirqs+0xce/0x270
__irq_exit_rcu+0xa3/0xc0
common_interrupt+0x80/0xa0
&lt;/IRQ&gt;

This inconsistency sometimes leads to checksum validation issues in the
upper layers of the network stack.

To resolve this, this patch clears the skb-&gt;ip_summed value for each
reused skb in by napi_reuse_skb(), ensuring that the caller is responsible
for setting the correct checksum status. This eliminates potential
checksum validation issues caused by improper handling of
skb-&gt;ip_summed.

Breno Leitao reported the splat below. [0]

Commit 65161fb544aa ("net: Fix dev_net(dev) race in
unregister_netdevice_notifier_dev_net().") added the
DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE(), assuming that the netdev is not
registered before register_netdevice_notifier_dev_net().

But the assumption was simply wrong.

Let's use rtnl_net_dev_lock() in register_netdevice_notifier_dev_net().

Breno Leitao reported the splat below. [0]

Commit 65161fb544aa ("net: Fix dev_net(dev) race in
unregister_netdevice_notifier_dev_net().") added the
DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE(), assuming that the netdev is not
registered before register_netdevice_notifier_dev_net().

But the assumption was simply wrong.

Let's use rtnl_net_dev_lock() in register_netdevice_notifier_dev_net().

<title>tcp: devmem: don't write truncated dmabuf CMSGs to userspace</title>

<id>18912c520674ec4d920fe3826e7e4fefeecdf5ae</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, we report -ETOOSMALL (err) only on the first iteration
(!sent). When we get put_cmsg error after a bunch of successful
put_cmsg calls, we don't signal the error at all. This might be
confusing on the userspace side which will see truncated CMSGs
but no MSG_CTRUNC signal.

Consider the following case:
- sizeof(struct cmsghdr) = 16
- sizeof(struct dmabuf_cmsg) = 24
- total cmsg size (CMSG_LEN) = 40 (16+24)

When calling recvmsg with msg_controllen=60, the userspace
will receive two(!) dmabuf_cmsg(s), the first one will
be a valid one and the second one will be silently truncated. There is no
easy way to discover the truncation besides doing something like
"cm-&gt;cmsg_len != CMSG_LEN(sizeof(dmabuf_cmsg))".

Introduce new put_devmem_cmsg wrapper that reports an error instead
of doing the truncation. Mina suggests that it's the intended way
this API should work.

Note that we might now report MSG_CTRUNC when the users (incorrectly)
call us with msg_control == NULL.

<title>ipvs: Always clear ipvs_property flag in skb_scrub_packet()</title>

<content type='text'>
We found an issue when using bpf_redirect with ipvs NAT mode after
commit ff70202b2d1a ("dev_forward_skb: do not scrub skb mark within
the same name space"). Particularly, we use bpf_redirect to return
the skb directly back to the netif it comes from, i.e., xnet is
false in skb_scrub_packet(), and then ipvs_property is preserved
and SNAT is skipped in the rx path.

ipvs_property has been already cleared when netns is changed in
commit 2b5ec1a5f973 ("netfilter/ipvs: clear ipvs_property flag when
SKB net namespace changed"). This patch just clears it in spite of
netns.

<title>net: set the minimum for net_hotdata.netdev_budget_usecs</title>

Commit 7acf8a1e8a28 ("Replace 2 jiffies with sysctl netdev_budget_usecs
to enable softirq tuning") added a possibility to set
net_hotdata.netdev_budget_usecs, but added no lower bound checking.

Commit a4837980fd9f ("net: revert default NAPI poll timeout to 2 jiffies")
made the *initial* value HZ-dependent, so the initial value is at least
2 jiffies even for lower HZ values (2 ms for 1000 Hz, 8ms for 250 Hz, 20
ms for 100 Hz).

But a user still can set improper values by a sysctl. Set .extra1
(the lower bound) for net_hotdata.netdev_budget_usecs to the same value
as in the latter commit. That is to 2 jiffies.

While kernel sockets are dismantled during pernet_operations-&gt;exit(),
their freeing can be delayed by any tx packets still held in qdisc
or device queues, due to skb_set_owner_w() prior calls.

This then trigger the following warning from ref_tracker_dir_exit() [1]

To fix this, make sure that kernel sockets own a reference on net-&gt;passive.

Add sk_net_refcnt_upgrade() helper, used whenever a kernel socket
is converted to a refcounted one.

<title>Revert "net: skb: introduce and use a single page frag cache"</title>

<id>6bc7e4eb0499562ccd291712fd7be0d1a5aad00a</id>
<content type='text'>
After the previous commit is finally safe to revert commit dbae2b062824
("net: skb: introduce and use a single page frag cache"): do it here.

The intended goal of such change was to counter a performance regression
introduced by commit 3226b158e67c ("net: avoid 32 x truesize
under-estimation for tiny skbs").

Unfortunately, the blamed commit introduces another regression for the
virtio_net driver. Such a driver calls napi_alloc_skb() with a tiny
size, so that the whole head frag could fit a 512-byte block.

The single page frag cache uses a 1K fragment for such allocation, and
the additional overhead, under small UDP packets flood, makes the page
allocator a bottleneck.

Thanks to commit bf9f1baa279f ("net: add dedicated kmem_cache for
typical/small skb-&gt;head"), this revert does not re-introduce the
original regression. Actually, in the relevant test on top of this
revert, I measure a small but noticeable positive delta, just above
noise level.

The revert itself required some additional mangling due to recent updates
in the affected code.
